RE:RE:always good to look at both sides of the coin.Another factor to play into Ath SP towards the end of this year and into next would be that Mexico is reportedly halving their exports of heavy oil to the US by the end of this year (apparently they've already reduced to India also) and by the end of next year, when Ath should be out of debt with a floor of 80-85 $ / barrel, will have halted all heavy oil exports to become more self sufficient as their refinery will be online.
If Ath is able to churn out more heavy oil by then, the US (I'm led to believe) doesn't produce any appreciable amounts of heavy oil, will have little choice but to get more from Canada. Maybe then we can stop discounting it. Either way, it bodes well for the heavy oil industry in Canada as long as there is a need for it.
